ubuntu is a misnomer

*asus and lg, nvidia, amd, intel, microsoft, amazon…

Thousands of horses would not end up at slaughter every year if they were not bred to be exploited.

Swapping google apps over to fdroid etc apps before changing os is definitely the right way to go.

I reinstalled lineage recently via https://lineage.microg.org/ but have yet to use anything not on fdroid so far. I had to drop my banking apps, and a couple of webmail default apps… not the end of the world. Time will tell if it will remain feasible to keep it that way, future interactions with the government, or businesses might make it annoying (mainly due to ID cr*p), but so far it hasn’t been a problem.

I originally installed lineage via https://wiki.lineageos.org/ then added GApps at the last step, but the google sh*t still being on my phone was not what I wanted.

The installation isn’t that difficult, although the instructions do need to be read carefully. You can stuff it up without killing your phone.

My motorola g84 is running it, as ismy sony xperia xz2

Probably worth watching some installation videos first.

I believe the issue for them is being able to recognise ai usage there?

I’m not angry, but I’m not going to make excuses for the people doing the damage.

People who choose to look the other way while their money is used to fund obviously bad things, do not deserve good things. Ignorance in such matters is a really hard sell these days.

Consumer and voter apathy are frequently ignored these days, it is a significant, and very deliberate issue with social media… ‘oh those billionaires and politicians are so horrible’ (chant the people funding and voting for them).

Far too few Australians choose to use ethical superannuation, just as far too few Australians choose not to use the big 4 dirty banks.

I recommend uBlacklist to correct this.

I’m guessing that currently comes under the ‘nothing is perfect’ banner, with hope that will improve.

A lot of these things still rely on honesty, which is unlikely to correlate with ai users.

I’m definitely not a coder (real, or poser), but I assume game code is often not as easy to check as some other forms of media. I’ve looked at game files in the past that were legible in a text editor, but I don’t believe that is the norm.

That shouldn’t be possible, but since the majority of Australians have their superannuation invested with funds that directly fund fossil fuel, weapons, tobacco, gambling etc, I find it difficult to care that they are being ripped off.

I’m not talking about starscream

ai is owned and marketed by completely evil people.

Me too, and like a lot of other people I would also like steam to make it much easier to avoid.

Steam are getting plenty of feedback on bluesky about nextfest being slopfest

Slop by any other name…

I’m assuming the majority of posts are slop now, there are a couple of dedicated opensourceai subreddits, I would prefer such a thing existed here as well, with a blanket ban in this one.

Reminds me of a song
